LUMBAR LEVEL
In a common work with the school of
Sobernheim, we have divided the scoliosis
patients into two kinds, completely different
at lumbar level:Three curved and four
curved (3).
Figure 14. Left, three curved scoliosis.
Iliac crests are salient at left side. Right,
four curved scoliosis.The right iliac crest is
salient.

Figure 15. Left, three curved scoliosis,
with iliac crests salient at left side. Right,
four curved scoliosis.
There are intermediate cases, sometimes
difficult to classify but now apparently
well in hand.

Figure 16. How to reduce shifting of
pelvis in a three curved scoliosis. Notice,
the mechanisms are much more sophisticated
than in this drawing.
Figure 17
Figure 17. Before 1995 we would treat
four curved scoliosis as in B. The apex was
reduced, but the iliac crests migrated still
more toward right. C. Now we push apex
towards right and iliac crests toward left,
where no more shell, no more brace part is
present.
